The graphic presentation of one of the oldest music competitions in the world has always inspired great interest. Its first edition in 1927 brought with it the birth of a Chopin poster concept that has endured without interruption until this day, Its essence is the combination of a typographic element with symbolism referring both to the person of Fryderyk Chopin, and to the long-standing tradition of the Chopin Competition.

The competition has two rounds. In the first one, participants can submit application form and a graphic design in B1 poster format and technique, on or before 10 May 2017. No more than three participants are to be admitted to the second round, in which, they will send to the organizer all elements of the visual identification of the 18th Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition, on or before 30 June 2017.
